Audio codecs addon
These functions are declared in the following header file. Link with allegro_acodec.
#include <allegro5/allegro_acodec.h>al_init_acodec_addon
bool al_init_acodec_addon(void)This function registers all the known audio file type handlers for al_load_sample, al_save_sample, al_load_audio_stream, etc.
Depending on what libraries are available, the full set of recognised extensions is: .wav, .flac, .ogg, .opus, .it, .mod, .s3m, .xm, .voc.
Limitations:
Saving is only supported for wav files.
The wav file loader currently only supports 8/16 bit little endian PCM files. 16 bits are used when saving wav files. Use flac files if more precision is required.
Module files (.it, .mod, .s3m, .xm) are often composed with streaming in mind, and sometimes cannot be easily rendered into a finite length sample. Therefore they cannot be loaded with al_load_sample/al_load_sample_f and must be streamed with al_load_audio_stream or al_load_audio_stream_f.
.voc file streaming is unimplemented.
Return true on success.
al_get_allegro_acodec_version
uint32_t al_get_allegro_acodec_version(void)Returns the (compiled) version of the addon, in the same format as al_get_allegro_version.
